ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Mount tires only according to good
tire mounting practice and proper tire mounting equipment.
Careless installation techniques may damage wheels for which
CUSTOM WHEELS INC. cannot assume responsibility.
Trial fit the wheel to the vehicle
before mounting tire to assure wheel is properly matched to
the lug pattern. Never force a wheel to seat against the hub
by applying lug nut pressure. The wheel must go into place
freely. Clear axle flange obstruction such as rivets, guide
pins, screw fasteners or spring steel keepers before mounting
wheel.
In mounting the tire on the wheel,
be sure the wheel is properly positioned on the tire mounting
equipment and the hold down cone is secure.
WARNING! Do not use spacers or adaptors
to resolve any clearance problem. If spacers or adapters are
used, user bears all responsibility.
Check for excessive stud length. Excessive
length will bottom out in a closed lug nut, preventing the
wheel from being properly torque to the mounting surface on
the drum or disc.
Use recommended valve stem.
Use only Original Equipment lugs or
CWI approved lug nuts.
Do not inflate tire in excess of 60
p.s.i. (40 p.s.i. in California) in order to seat the tire
on the wheel. If the tire will not seat at these pressures,
check for any unusual obstructions, proper use of tire mounting
lubricants or a possible wheel/tire mismatch.
Tighten lug nuts in a progressive
criss-cross pattern. Impact wrenches are not recommended due
to the possibility or irregular or over tightening. Owner's
manual recommended lug nut torque specifications should be
followed.
THE INSTALLER MUST INSTRUCT THE CUSTOMER
TO RETORQUE OR RETURN IMMEDIATELY AFTER GOING AROUND THE BLOCK
AND @ 25 MILES, 100 MILES MAXIMUM, SO INSTALLER CAN RETORQUE
TO PROPER SPECIFICATIONS.IT IS THE PURCHASERS RESPONSIBILITY
TO INSURE THE LUGNUTS ARE TIGHTENED TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS
AT ALL TIMES
Stud penetration into hex portion
of the lug nut should be in excess of one times the diameter
of the stud. Studs should be free of rust and dirt, not stripped
and free of lubricant.
A non -metallic object is recommended
for tapping snap-on type center hub covers.
Use tire manufacturers' rim width
recommendations for wheel and tire selection. It is recommended
that fender clearance be checked before mounting more than
one tire.
Check for proper clearance and true
rotation of all wheels before actually driving your car. Turn
front wheels side to side to check for possible interference.
Clearance should be checked while the car is on the rack in
addition to final check with weight of the car applied.
Finally, drive the car at low speeds
initially as a final precaution. (10 MPH max.)
Keep your wheels clean! The chrome
finish will last longer if foreign material, dirt and chemicals
are promptly removed. SALT WILL DAMAGE (BLACK SPOTS AND CORROSION)
CHROME WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY
